How to Host a Game in GMod
Short for Garry’s Mod, GMod is a one-player, online game that allows the user to manipulate objects, levels and the other items around them. It is unusual, though, in that it relies on the user running -- or hosting -- at least one other game through GMod. Any game available through the Steam platform on which GMod runs can work on the site. Hosting the game itself is simple, but what you do with it from there is up to you.
